B101A 04 VCDS code

Featured Replies

Hi All,

My Airbag light has come on and VCDS picked up a code (pic attached)

 

My local VAG garage just cleared the code and didn't fix the issue charging me £120

 

Google search brings bo results.

 

Anyone experienced this code or knows how to fix?

 

My MOT is due next month and i really need this fixing for that and for safety.

 

Any help greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you

Hi All, quick update....I fixed the issue.

 

The code is pointing to the Airbag sensor found at the front in the middle (red circle) . To access, I removed the screws (yellow circles) and that air intake section.  See image attached.

 

Following safety precautions I changed the sensor, cleared codes with VCDS and now all is good. 

 

Garage  wanted to charge me £400....shocking.

 

Note: This is not a how to do instruction guide. It's an account of what I did to fix the problem for education purpose. 

 

Also, image is not mine, taken from internet. And edited.
